Hey everyone,
I have a 361 that I bought used about 5 years ago. I use it 2-3 times a year without issue. This year I started it up for the first time, first cut went fine/ran perfect...second went a little slow. Third bogged down and stopped. I started it again...died after 15 seconds and wouldn't start again. It was at that point I realized it was overheating. Any ideas what could have happened? I know 100% that my gas/oil mixture was perfect. My saws always drain their chain lube out while they sit so I was thinking maybe it lost its prime and couldn't lube the chain at all. That never happened before but I can't come up with anything else. I'm doubtful if that would cause the entire saw to overheat so quick. Any ideas on what went wrong and what I should do from here? I'm assuming its destroyed
Thanks for any ideas!
